Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Van Queenspark

Removal Van Queenspark is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and any form of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the removal van industry can involve complex labour arrangements, subcontracting, and seasonal work, which means robust controls are essential.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in every part of Removal Van Queenspark. This applies to our employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers. No individual should be coerced, deceived, or pressured into work, and no business advantage justifies the abuse of basic labour rights. Our policy is embedded in recruitment, onboarding, and procurement processes so that ethical practice is expected from the outset.

We also require managers and supervisors to remain alert to warning signs, including restricted movement, withheld documents, debt bondage, excessive working hours, or signs that workers are unable to speak freely about their employment. Where concerns are identified, we investigate promptly and take appropriate action, which may include terminating a relationship, reporting to authorities, or strengthening controls to prevent recurrence.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

As part of our commitment to responsible sourcing, Removal Van Queenspark carries out risk-based supplier audits and due diligence checks. We assess new and existing suppliers based on geography, labour model, subcontracting practices, and the type of services provided. Higher-risk suppliers may be asked to complete detailed questionnaires, provide evidence of workforce policies, and agree to audit visits or document reviews. Modern slavery prevention is a key factor in supplier selection and retention.

Our audit process looks for compliance with employment law, accurate wage records, proof of right-to-work checks, transparent contracts, and safe working conditions. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we require a corrective action plan with clear deadlines. Where improvement is not demonstrated, we will reduce exposure, suspend work, or end the relationship. Removal Van Queenspark believes that meaningful oversight is essential to protecting vulnerable workers and maintaining ethical service delivery.

Training, Awareness, and Governance

We provide internal guidance so that team members understand how modern slavery can appear in everyday operations. Staff involved in hiring, scheduling, procurement, and contract management are encouraged to recognise risks and escalate concerns quickly. Senior management reviews performance and oversees implementation of our anti-slavery controls, ensuring accountability remains at the highest level. This governance approach supports continuous improvement and reinforces our expectation of responsible conduct across the business.

Reporting Channels and Safeguarding Concerns

Removal Van Queenspark encourages anyone who suspects exploitation to report it without delay. Concerns may be raised through internal management routes or through designated safeguarding reporting channels established for confidential escalation. Reports are handled seriously, sensitively, and as quickly as possible. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and we aim to protect the identity of reporters where appropriate.

All reports are reviewed to determine the facts, assess immediate risk, and decide whether urgent action is needed. If a worker is believed to be in danger, we prioritise their safety and may work with relevant specialist organisations or public authorities. This approach reflects our belief that the Queenspark removal van sector must support dignity, lawful employment, and safe working environments at every stage of the service chain.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal expectations and operational risk. The review considers audit findings, supplier performance, internal training outcomes, and any reports or incidents raised during the year. Where necessary, we update policies, strengthen due diligence, and improve monitoring procedures. The annual review also helps us measure progress and identify areas requiring additional attention.

Removal Van Queenspark is committed to strengthening its approach year after year. We understand that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time exercise. By maintaining a strict zero-tolerance stance, conducting supplier audits, offering clear reporting channels, and completing annual reviews, we aim to reduce risk and promote ethical working practices throughout our business and supply chain.
